2 of a Shameful Kind

A leading telecom company and an international bank in Ghana employ mostly manila-skinned demoiselles to man their public spaces, solely on that sepia note. These lamp posts wear ugly frowns from dawn to dusk, mistaken that it adds up to their alleged allure; pretending that no one’s figured out their facade. Enough!

Very interesting..if it is true then it is extremely shameless. It also says something about self-hatred in Ghanaian society that manifests itself in our obsession with skin tone. I'm always appalled when I hear people argue about who is darker than who! In the end, we are all still considered black people to onlookers of different races.
